What are you talking about? Mr. Plinkett has always been a fan of Newhart.

Oh you mean the show that had a backdoor pilot in Doom Patrol, and then they recast the leads?

> The Green Lantern show that was in development hell was being produced by JJ Abrams.

It was being produced by Greg Berlanti, and the original pitch was a 'multigenerational story' that Gunn described as a space opera with Alan Scott Green Lantern in the 40's, Guy Gardner in the 80's, and Simon Baz/Jessica Cruz in modern day. Which hey, seeing some of those characters in live action would be cool but doing every Earth Lantern except the two most popular and the two that make for a really obvious buddy cop paring seemed like a bizarre choice. Eventually it was reworked to be a John Stewart show but Gunn has said that version of the show is 100% cancelled and Lanterns is a totally new project.

He has two movies actually!

It's crazy that this idea seems so obvious and yet the Green Lantern show was in development hell for years before finally landing on this.

> “‘Oh God, Nukie!’”

Do you have any basis for this beyond speculation? Has any streamer actually discussed contract based subscriptions or are we just jumping to the worst conclusion?

> They want Cuba back via the sword and to get their family plantations back

How delusional does someone have to be to keep this dream alive?

> That, or Florida no longer becomes a swing state.

Florida appearing to become dark red in recent cycles would also mean we can detach Cuba policy from trying to appeal to these voters.

> and Adrian Paul, in my mind, was a lot better than Christophe Lambert

Turns out being able to see helps a lot when trying to play the lead of an action series.

> It was really cool to see him dodge that industry bullet.

And, in a roundabout way, that was eventually how he became the Chapo Trap House Cryptocurrency Correspondent

Watched all four Chrismukkah episodes in a row this year and jumping from season to season was absolutely wild, basically a series of nostalgia bombs as I remembered different characters and plot threads I'd totally forgotten.

> They forced them to make Johnny a regular

Literally one of the least interesting characters in the history of television.

Dude needs knee surgery and rather than accept a check from his rich friends to pay for it he fucking buys a gun to rob a liquor store. Holy shit, just the worst.

Batgirl section of this sucks. “oh man, it was gonna be so bad, don’t you wish you could’ve seen how bad it was 😜🤪”. That’s the best pick you’ve got dude?

> Nothing is safe from WBD

Have been meaning to finish Babylon 5 but have been taking my time since I figured it would never leave HBO Max since they spent the time and money to remaster it but I'm not so sure anymore.

> Someone could start a streaming service on just the stuff they're tossing out alone, imagine the kind of audience you could steal if you just bought up the stuff they're tossing out

yeah I don't think people are going to rush to join the service headlined by one good season of Westworld and Genera+ion

Every time I see something about this show all my brain can think about is that NBC sci-fi show about underwater monsters that got cancelled.

Was in the Netherlands in August visiting a friend of my fiancé's family who lived in the Hague and he was constantly shitting on Amsterdam as a tourist trap and saying foreigners shouldn't go there because they can have all the same experiences in other Dutch cities but better and cheaper.

Shoutout to my guy Zaslav, taking all the heat off of the other streamers by becoming the face of shitty hollywood business practices that everyone was going to do

For everyone freaking out over this not going to HBO Max, I wouldn’t be shocked if there was an exclusivity window thing, where it’ll debut on Prime but will eventually be on both Prime and HBO Max

Also it was being pitched as an ego thing for him but that seemed really backward to me, does he want his legacy to be buying two major media prosperities and then selling the company years later?

Honestly wouldn’t be shocked if Sorbo was in this

The right yelling for decades about how much they hate Hollywood and the television/film establishment is just them trying to cover for how desperately they want to be part of that establishment.
